Hey guys! I know I haven't updated in a while, but I'd really appreciate it if you all supported me on this. I currently have poetry in a  contest for Vox Atl, a company that publishes teen poetry. All three of the poems I submitted are published as featured poems on their site and two if them are finalists in the poetry contest. Winning this contest would mean that not only would I get an awesome prize pack, but I would also have my poem(s) published in PRINT, which would be very cool seeing as I would love to publish a lot of my works one day. I would love for all of you to go to this link ( http://voxatl.com/contests ) and vote on my poems "Fallen Leaf" and "Dark Forest". To vote, go to the link and click on the giant arrow. If you would like to read my poetry as well, just scroll down that initial page  (I will soon be publishing them here as well in perhaps a poetry compilation of some sort). You vote for one at a time, and then you can go back to the link and vote for the other one. VOTING ENDS AUGUST 30TH! So if you're going to vote and support me, it'd be great if you could vote today. Help me win this contest! Thanks so much guys!
          
          Stay classy, friends.

Hey guys. I know I said I would try to update a long time ago, but I haven't had much of a chance to write. My summer vacation from school was only a mere 3 weeks long because I had online school for most of the summer. Now I start school tomorrow. This being said, I will have basically NO time to write at all. Of course I will try my best to give you guys some new material, even though many of you have probably stopped following my stories. I'm so sorry about my lack of updating. Hopefully I can try to find some time to give you a chapter. I'm going to try to give you guys at least one chapter a month on either Casualties of War or The Hunt. The struggle in school of course comes first so I will do my best during the school year. I might even add some new stories along the way. I'be got a lot of material that needs to be put out there. You never know when you'll get something. Hopefully, they'll be the best surprises. Thanks guys for understanding! 
          
          Stay classy, friends. 
          Peace

Hey guys! I know I said like 2 weeks ago that I would update. Sorry, but obviously that hasn't been the case. I was out of town last week at a conference, and now I'm behind with school. So! It'll be a while until I update anything. 
          
          Earlier today I saw some of the votes and requests for updates on The Hunt, and that got me thinking. I'm kind of stuck on that story, and I'm not really sure exactly what I would do for the next chapters, but it got me thinking that I would [eventually] just sit down and write something and see where it takes me. Not saying that I will do that this week or anything, because I won't. I'm just letting you guys know that I've decided that I will update that story (as well as COW) within the next month. My classes end a week after the  4th of July or so, so I'll have more free time to update then. I'll still have summer homework for next year to work on, but I'll have a little more time. I hope you guys are happy about that. I'm excited to see what details I plan out for The Hunt to fill in the general plot. I'll update when I can! Stay tuned!

Hey guys! So I've got some really great stuff going for the 4th chapter of COW. I was seriously hoping to have it up by the weekend maybe, but I've run into a bit of an artistic difference with myself. I'm battling myself on whether I should keep the current pace of the story line or draw it out a little and add some stuff that I think could turn out to be pretty great – some more humor and drama that would really develop the relationships and characters a little more. And I am seriously developing Mason's character more and making him more complex, so there is also that to add to my artistic dilemma.  So! Also seeing as I have a very busy schedule, the 4th chapter of COW may not be up by the weekend. Sorry guys! I'm trying my best! Thanks for your continued support!

Hey, guys! I know I said I was going to be trying to update more, but I have just started online school and track practices, so it's going be a lot harder for me to update COW. I'm trying to do my stories one at a time because that's what works for me. It's better for me to keep that momentum going while I have it, as opposed to switching back and forth between books. So! That being said, those of you who are following The Hunt, you probably aren't going to get an update anytime soon. Sorry about that. I'll let you guys know if I change my mind. On a happier note, thank you guys so much for supporting me! More people are reading and voting on my stories and following me, and that just means the world to me. It makes me soooo happy, so please keep it up guys! Thank all of you so much, and I love you!
